> Scott, it has taught me that I have no frickin' idea what you're talking about. I honestly cannot follow your thinking, and to be honest, I have no desire to try.
Perhaps you underestimated the depth of the waters here.
I merely was attempting to answer the question you posed to me in a previous post:
"I wonder what these folks would say to support a person with Agoraphobia; would they tell her to stay home and be safe?"

I find your analogy regarding agoraphobia to be inadequate to support your various theses. The therapeutic milieu of therapy for agoraphobia begins in the safety of the home and often employs imagery rather than physical exposure. Acute exposure too early in the recovery process has been found to be counterproductive and can actually further sensitize the sufferer to phobic stimuli. Desensitization is a systematic process.
Oops. Perhaps your question was rhetorical?

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
